but how the hell do you blame the Dems for this one? Because those "statesmen" just dumped gas on a fire. How? Because of the Armenian resolution? I agree with you that that was not the smartest move but Turkey is only using that as an excuse. The Kurds and the Turks have been at it for over 20 years. In fact, the Turks have killed many more Kurds than Saddam ever did. In the last few years, as the Kurds in N. Iraq have become stronger, the fighting between Turkey and the Kurds has escalated. Every time they try to nail the Kurds, they run over the border into Iraq. This is a big issue that won't go away. The Kurds want a separate country that would take in portions of Turkey, Iran and Iraq. The part of Turkey they want is a very valuable piece of property. It contains a lot of mineral resources as well as hydroelectric power and oil. The war in Iraq as in many things has turned out to be a tipping force in this fight. It has brought things to head. Instead of dealing with it, the Bush administration has ignored it. The only positive thing Bush has done for Turkey is push for its admittance into the EU which failed. It might have helped if Bush had a better relationship with the key players in the EU but that was not the case. Meanwhile, the Turkish gov't has become more Islamist. That should have sent up red flags to Bush.....one of the few secular gov'ts in the ME.......and its slowly moving towards a theocracy. Of course, Bush has ignored it. You can blame the Dems but its a false friend. The true culprit is Bush. His international diplomacy has been wanting from the get go and he has behaved like a bull in a china closet without any intelligent forethought to back up such behavior.
